I know everbody is interested in the Cherokee lines of the families so I'm trying to tie it together. Below is info on the ones that were rejected. You need to compare those with the names on the "Lesters on Cherokee rolls" . It looks like not all were rejects for some reason. GOOD LUCK and I'll keep trying!!!
